Disability Awareness Training

Did You Know?

• 1 in 5 Australians has a disability, yet many barriers to their full participation in education and employment still exist. Training like this helps close that gap!
• Inclusive practices in education benefit not only students with disabilities but also create a richer, more diverse, and effective learning environment for all students.
• The shift from viewing disability as a “personal tragedy” to a matter of human rights and social inclusion is a key focus of modern disability awareness. This training helps reinforce that essential change in perspective.
• The principles of effective communication covered in this course, such as using plain language and being patient, are valuable skills that improve interactions with everyone, not just individuals with disabilities.
